Sept. 19, 2004 - Sumter County Sheriff's deputies seized an arsenal of 124 guns after responding to domestic violence complaint involving a 78-year-old man.
A Department of Social Services case worker had reported that Alex B. Deas had squeezed his wife's arm until the skin tore.
Deputies heard from family members about the gun collection and obtained a search warrant. A search turned up a $100,000 worth of weapons and ammunition.
Sumter County Sheriff Tommy Mims says the arsenal included a German practice grenade and a machine gun mounted in one of the upstairs bedrooms.
Deas is charged with criminal domestic violence and unlawful storing and keeping of a machine gun. The machine gun charge can bring a ten-year sentence or a $10,000 fine.

If this happened to me:
a. They wouldn't find all the guns.
b. I'd soon have a dead relative.

Million Mom March DV propaganda... If they repeat it enough, the populace believes that all "males" beat their wives and support the Second Amendment.
Support fathers' rights, and clean up our national socialist whorehouse! Repeal the unconstitutional VAWA!

It's for the headlines! Coppers took
124 guns out of the hands of criminals.
An estimated street value of $ 100,000 was seized,
along with Illegal Machine Gun !.
There. Shades of WOD, batman.

Just out of curiousity, at what point does a collection become an arsenal? Is there a number?

Alex B. Deas had squeezed his wife's arm until the skin tore. Just another cowardly abuser of women. I have no sympathy for this schmuck.

And just what's wrong with having a machine gun mounted in your bedroom? Nothing wrong with it, but it does sound kinda kinky to me.

No particular number. Your collection becomes an arsenal when they decide to seize it, about the same time your house becomes a compound.
